David Law - Magic Clouds - The Elephant

Series: Magic Clouds David Law Photographer Artist – Creator of contemporary images Multidisciplinary photographer-artist, author and musician, David Law develops a body of work focused on gaze, presence and the perception of the image in urban space. He first made a name for himself with a series dedicated to storefront mannequins, integrated into the city through a subtle play of reflections and superimpositions. This exploration of gaze and presence gave rise to an art book published in 2021. Later drawn to the singular aesthetics of collectible dolls and Japanese figurines, he extends this reflection by staging them in the streets of Paris and other European capitals. Through framing, light and composition, these inanimate models acquire a troubling, almost living presence, questioning our relationship to illusion and projection. New series – Magic Clouds Magic Clouds invites us to rediscover that childhood game of looking at the sky and recognizing animals or imaginary creatures in the clouds. Each image is built from a photograph of sky and clouds, whose natural shapes gradually suggest a presence. The artist contributes with a minimalist touch: a few small black dots placed at the eye positions are enough to conjure a gaze and reveal the animal. A series where chance, imagination and poetry meet. Edition & Production Each work is offered in a limited edition of 8 numbered copies + 4 artist’s proofs (A.P.), signed by the artist and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The prints are made on aluminum with a built-in back mount. Printed on luminous white vinyl, mounted between two aluminum plates, with a flexible UV- and humidity-resistant laminate, guaranteeing excellent durability, long-term resistance, color stability and a modern, contemporary look. Career Since 2014, David Law has participated in about twenty contemporary art fairs per year in France and Europe. He is also the dedicated photographer and videographer for several organizers of contemporary art fairs. In parallel with his visual work, he develops an author’s practice and musician’s work including 3 novels, a collection of short stories, a graphic novel, a photo book and 5 self-produced CDs. A singer-guitarist, he currently performs with the group FRENZY.
